Thousands of people die or are injured
everyday in road accidents. It may result in partial to permanent disabilities
for those involved in accident. Their family members suffer directly and all
this add up to the social cost as well. Admittedly, accidents are accidents,
yet it can be reduced substantially with caution and precaution. Many of the
victims of road accidents are those, who are not at fault yet, they are sucked
into such unfortunate consequences.
Certainly, prevention is better than
cure and we all know this. Somehow, we forget it or try to flout the very basic
or simple rules of life, in our living and conducts; thinking that any such lapses
may not lead to our own harm. That is only true, till we encounter the largely preventable
nightmare personally, and in person, as a witness. But, by that time, it might
be too late for us to effect proper corrections. Our sincere regrets, pains or
losses may not provide us with solutions for regaining, what we lost for being reckless.
Lot of people are the victims of the unintended actions of others. A small or even
a freak accident may ruin our future irrevocably. It is therefore, far better
to learn from others’ mistakes; but not from our own.
